Summary
Sarah Huang is a PhD student and Lead Graduate Teaching Assistant at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, specializing in data visualization and "Visualization as a Service" (VaaS). With eight years of experience spanning research, tooling, and production software, she bridges InfoVis research (RAIV + LLM agent work) with practical web and cloud engineering—managing AWS/Azure resources for dozens of student teams and shipping UI improvements in applied projects like Claimsagent. She’s led teams, created reusable operational systems (handbooks, surveys, hiring workflows), and boosted engagement through pragmatic PR and supervision work. Equally comfortable training machine learning models and fixing front-end test suites, Sarah turns messy real-world data into interactive, human-readable visuals and reproducible research artifacts. An organizer at heart, she often codifies processes others inherit, making technical transitions smoother and research outputs more reusable.
